Michael Jackson songs have been banned from some radio station playlists following the airing of the very controversial HBO documentary Leaving Neverland according to Radar Online.
Michael Jackson fallout continues and radio stations are pulling the “Thriller” hitmaker’s music from their play rotations after the HBO airing of the two-part Leaving Neverland interviews with Jackson sexual abuse accusers Wade Robson and James Safechuck. So far three radio stations located in Montreal have banned together against playing Jackson’s music.
A spokesperson for the radio stations in Canada say an outpouring of listener response and criticism led to the decision.
The HBO documentary reveals a raw and explicit description from Robson’s claims revealing that Michael sexually abused him from the time that he was 7-years-old, until he was a young teenagers. Wade gave graphic details of his encounters with MJ, and his own mindset as the abuse continued over the years.
James Safechuck claimed that during the time he spent with Michael the two got “married” in a secret bedroom ceremony.
“I was really into jewelry at that time and he would reward me with jewelry for doing sexual acts to him,” he claimed. “He would say that I need to sell him some so I could earn the gift.”
There continues to be massive backlash revolving around the airing. As previously reported by Hollywood News Daily, Oprah Winfrey was under-fire across the social media following her After Neverland interviews with the Jackson accusers.
Michael Jackson fans and non fans took to Twitter to voice their opinions on the alleged sexual abuse accusations. While the singer’s loyal fans, and his family members continue to defend him and proclaim his innocence, others have called for bans of his music all over the world.
Meanwhile, new Jackson accusers, who stepped forward last month, are allegedly banning together demanding that Jackson’s body is exhumed and examined for DNA evidence.
Forensic investigators claim that traces of skin and nails from MJ’s victims will remain on his body and could prove Michael Jackson’s guilt or innocence once and for all.
Wade Robson and James Safechuck’s story, told in the 4-hour, 2-part documentary Leaving Neverland is currently streaming on HBO.
Michael Jackson’s family is now suing HBO over the film, claiming that the allegations against the singer are false, adding that he was aquitted of the charges during a 2005 trial, which Robson took the stand during in his defense.
